Port Crescent State Park

Port Crescent State Park is a public recreation area on Lake Huron five miles (8.0 km) southwest of Port Austin in Huron County at the tip of The Thumb of Michigan. The state park covers 640 acres (260 ha) along state route M-25 in Hume Township. The park occupies the site of Port Crescent, a ghost town which once stood at the mouth of the Pinnebog River. The park was designated a Michigan "dark sky preserve" in 2012. History The park's first 124 acres were purchased by the state in 1956. One of the last visible remnants of the vanished town of Port Crescent, the 120-foot-tall Pack & Woods Sawmill chimney, was razed in 1961, despite the objections of residents who felt the loss of the local landmark. The park was expanded with the purchase of an additional 455 acres in 1977. Activities and amenities The state park offers swimming, picnicking, canoeing, fishing, 5 miles (8.0 km) of hiking trails, cross-country skiing, and a 142-site campground and cabin.

Подъёмный мост озера Портидж

Подъёмный мост озера Портидж — мост через протоку Portage Canal, единственный на водном пути Keweenaw Waterway, пересекающем полуостров Кивино в озере Верхнее. Четырёхполосный автодорожный мост соединяет города Ханкок и Хоутон в округе Хоутон штата Мичиган, Соединённые Штаты Америки; через него проходят автомагистрали US 41 и M-26. С 2022 года входит в число национальных исторических памятников гражданского строительства США. Первый на этом месте деревянный разводной мост, соединивший с материком северную оконечность полуострова Кивино, называемую Медным островом, был построен в 1876 году, а в 1895 году он был заменён на стальной поворотный мост. После столкновения с судном Northern Wave в 1905 году поворотную часть моста пришлось заменить; другая аварийная ситуация приключилась в 1920 году, однако тогда кораблю удалось остановиться, выбросив якорь. Через полвека второй мост был признан устаревшим физически и морально и создающим угрозу судоходству на оживлённом водном пути. В 1959 году был разработан проект нового моста оригинальной конструкции, ставшего самым широким и массивным в мире двухъярусным вертикально-подъёмным мостом. В отличие от других типов разводных мостов, у вертикально-подъёмного моста центральный пролёт поднимается противовесами вверх, оставаясь параллельным поверхности воды. Особенность моста озера Портидж состоит в том, что его подъёмная часть имеет два яруса. При вводе моста в эксплуатацию по его нижнему ярусу наряду с автомобильным покрытием были проложены железнодорожные пути. Тогда в нижнем положении секции (высота около метра над зеркалом воды) по первому ярусу могли пройти железнодорожные составы, а по верхнему шло автомобильное движение; проход же судов по каналу был невозможен. В среднем положении (около 10 метров) нижнее полотно подъёмного пролёта становилось на уровень выше. Для прохода больших судов подъёмный пролёт поднимался на максимальную высоту (около 30 метров). С 1959 года и до отмены железнодорожного движения в 1982 году штатным положением подъёмной части моста было среднее. Это позволяло проход по каналу малых и средних судов без остановки автомобильного движения. Для пропуска железнодорожных составов пролёт опускался вниз. В случае необходимости пропустить большое судно пролёт, напротив, поднимался вверх, а автомобили ждали своей очереди. Теперь же, когда железной дороги больше нет, режим эксплуатации моста озера Портидж поменялся. Во время навигации мост постоянно остаётся в среднем положении, поднимаясь лишь для пропуска крупных судов. Зимой же, когда озеро Портидж замерзает, мост опускают в нижнее положение, а первый ярус используют для движения снегоходов. Высота башен подъёмного моста — 55 метров; длина моста — 400 метров, из них разводной пролёт — 82 метра. При строительстве было использовано более 35 тысяч тонн бетона и более 7 тысяч тонн стали. Ежедневно мост пропускает до 20 тысяч автомобилей. Примечания Литература Hyde, Charles K. Historic Highway Bridges of Michigan. Great Lakes Books.

Portage Lake Lift Bridge

Portage Lake Lift Bridge eller Houghton–Hancock Bridge är en lyftbro mellan städerna Hancock and Houghton i Michigan i USA. Den är den enda landförbindelsen mellan södra och norra delen av Keweenaw Peninsula, även kallad Copper Island. Bron, som är världens tyngsta och bredaste av sin typ, ersatte en svängbro av stål från 1895 som i sin tur ersatte en svängbro av trä från 1875. När bron invigdes år 1959 hade den ett järnvägsspår på nedre plan. Spårtrafiken lades ned år 1982. På sommaren hålls bron halvöppen så att mindre båtar kan passera och på vintern stängs den helt så att det nedre planet kan användas som snöskoterled.

Portage Lake Observatory

The Portage Lake Observatory (PLO) was an astronomical observatory owned and operated by the University of Michigan (UM). It was located near the village of Dexter, Michigan (USA), about 20 kilometers (12 miles) northwest of Ann Arbor. Construction at the site began in 1948, and the facility was closed in 1975.

Telescopes A 1.32 m (52 in) reflecting telescope was built by Tinsley Laboratories in 1969 and installed at PLO the same year. In 1975 it was moved to Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, Arizona, where it is now known as the McGraw-Hill Telescope. The 0.92 m (36 in) Heber Doust Curtis Telescope is a Schmidt camera that began operating at PLO in 1950. It was moved to the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile in 1967, where it is referred to as the Curtis Schmidt Telescope.

Powers Catholic High School

Luke M. Powers Catholic High School is a coeducational private Roman Catholic high school located in Flint, Michigan serving students in grades 9–12 under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lansing. History Powers Catholic was established in 1970 under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lansing and bears of name of Luke M. Powers, a Villanova University educated pastor in Flint from 1929 to 1966. After 40 years at its original location just north of Flint in Mount Morris Township, Powers relocated to downtown Flint for the 2013-14 school year, with historic Fay Hall serving as the main academic building. As part of a 36 million dollar development approved in 2010, Fay Hall was restored and a 75,000-square-foot addition containing a gymnasium, chapel, library, theater and media center was added to the campus. In 2022, Powers Catholic alumni Brian Sheeran was named the school’s new principal following the departure of his predecessor, Deacon Sean Costello. Dcn. Costello served in that role for the duration of the 2021-22 school year before accepting a position as Superintendent of Schools for the Archdiocese of Detroit.

Presque Isle Power Plant

The Presque Isle Power Plant was a coal power plant located at Marquette, Michigan, on the shore of Lake Superior. The plant has 5 inactive generating units with a total net generating capacity of 431 Megawatts. This plant has two smokestacks 400 and 410 feet (122 and 125 m) in height and was built in 1955 by Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company. Units 1 and 2 were retired on January 1, 2007. Units 3 and 4 were retired on October 1, 2009. Units 5 through 9 went into service between 1975 and 1979 and were retired in March 2019. This plant generated 90% of the Upper Peninsula's electricity and 12% of the electricity in the Wisconsin Energy system. Half of the plant's generating capacity went to the Empire and Tilden iron ore mines on the nearby Marquette Iron Range. The plant was sold to UPPCO in the early 1980s as Cleveland-Cliffs struggled, and it is now owned by Wisconsin Energy. The plant is connected to the grid by numerous 138-kilovolt transmission lines and one 345-kilovolt line known as the Presque Isle–Plains–Morgan line which runs from Marquette southwest to Plains Substation near Iron Mountain and south to the Morgan Substation just outside Oconto Falls, Wisconsin, where it ties into other 345-kilovolt lines going south towards Milwaukee and Appleton and west towards Wausau, Wisconsin, and St. Paul, Minnesota. In 2006, the plant incorporated a new process for capturing and reducing mercury emissions. We Energies has indicated that it may be forced to permanently shut down the Presque Isle plant in 2017 as it may not be able to meet new EPA pollution standards that will be in place at that time, though in 2012 there was an announcement of investment to upgrade the facility to meet standards. We Energies and American Transmission Company are looking at building two new 345,000-volt transmission lines from Wisconsin to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. If the new lines are built, one would go from Green Bay, Wisconsin to Ishpeming, Michigan and the second 345kv line would go from the Weston Power Plant near Wausau, Wisconsin north to Marquette. On March 31, 2019, the plant was decommissioned and its generating capacity was replaced with two new gas-fired power plants: A.J. Mihm Generating Station and F.D. Kuester Generating Station.
